The equipment need
A franchisor wanted to roll out a website to all of its franchisees, about four hundred locations.
The original model was a direct cash sale of the site to each franchisee.
Paying upfront slowed franchisee sign-up, since their start-up budgets were already stretched.
The network therefore wanted to offer a way to spread the payment.
The goal was a consistent online presence for the brand across the whole network.
- Local websites
- Hosting and domain names
- Maintenance and updates
- Local SEO modules
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured a lease covering intangible assets, a scope that few financing sources accept.
The program covers building the site, hosting and the related maintenance services.
Each franchisee signs its own contract, with terms of 24 to 48 months.
The framework was standardized so it could be rolled out across the entire network.
The franchisor is paid when each site is delivered, without carrying the credit risk of its franchisees.
The reported operational outcome
Franchisees get their site for a monthly payment instead of a full upfront investment.
The franchisor collects the sale price of each site as soon as it goes live.
Sign-up was significantly higher than a cash sale would have allowed.
The brand gained a consistent online presence across its entire network.
